Holy shit!!! I completely forgot about that too. Yes!!! 6% GST for me! Haha, yea I think I'll just wait for another week or so before I start shopping again.
As for games... I definitely say try out the
Onimusha series, they're set in more of the action horror genre. Great series if you like samurai games and hack n' slashers. Heh, and like Qwarky said get
Genji if you end up liking Onimusha.
Zone of the Enders is another great series, fast paced robot action. ZOE2 I highly suggest, the gameplay is just outstanding, so much goes on the screen at once.
For the
Metal Gear Solid series, definitely start with one as Qwarky mentioned already. If you're looking to get MGS2, look out for MGS2 Substance (it's like the director's cut), it's got more play value than Sons of Liberty.
Castlevania series is pretty fun too, another action series with some RPG elements to it (well the PS2 games anyway). Really minimal things though. There's two games for the PS2, "Lament of Innocence" and "Curse of Darkness." I'd say get LoI first, as that's most likely the cheaper one.
Also, if you end up liking Devil May Cry, you might wanna try
Chaos Legion. The gameplay is pretty fun, you summon and command a legion of warriors to do/aid your fighting. I think the real highlight in this game is it's kick ass soundtrack by Hideyuki Fukasawa.
For RPGs, try out the
Xenosaga series, it's got a pretty interesting storyline with a pretty fun battle system. Episode III should be coming out sometime before the end of the year I believe. The first 2 episodes should be dirt cheap now, last time I saw Xeno2 at EB it was going for $20-30.
RPG on PS1... definitely pick up
Chrono Cross, awesome game. Heh, while you're at it, you may as well pick up
Chrono Trigger.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
